My beast is Tuxedo black, with Blackout HID's, I'm not trying to put any chrome on it... so my question is.. Does anyone here think this can be painted? If so I am definitely getting this. (Maybe even plasti-dip)

It is not totally chrome plated, the internal faces are black so I reckon with some prep and spray primer for metal you could easily spray gloss of Matt black and make it look sweet on your truck - worth a shot in my opinion!

Did you end up painting it? I was having the exact same thought, so I'm happy to see someone else had that idea. Would love to know how it turned out if you did it.

For the ones who've received the FFG S30V, was it the black DLC coated as it is being shown/advertised now?Mark C., is yours black DLC coated?

Brian there is an engraved logo, very difficult to see but for the most part it looks better without the logo being very noticeable. If you want something nice with no highly visible logo this is what you want, I have it in my mustang and it looks beautiful! Feel free to ask me questions if you need!

I think the same company that makes this grille also makes it in black powder coat. I think the paint would chip to easily

You will need to see what kind of paint the manufacture used. My headers came with regular black paint so I had to strip the factory paint, cleaned it thoroughly, used VHT's primer and then their paint. If the muffler uses heat paint you should be good to go. Or if the muffler is stainless there is no need to paint.

Yes, but you would have to paint all of the corners and backs anyway so it would be easier to just paint the back black. It isn't great and the textures on the back will definitely clash with the black finish on the front. Basically, everything you see in the picture is black but from behind it, you wouldn't even know it's black.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

They make a black one without chrome but you could definitely plasti-dip it.

I didn't have to paint it. My daughters Altima is black. I guess you could sand it and paint it whatever color you want. I would think they have different colors though.

Correct. They only make it in one color. Which is black. I was worried it would look off as well. But it looks fine once installed. It's also really easy to take off and put on so you can only have it on when it's needed.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

You shouldn't have to specify chrome or black there are 2 distinct part number for black and chrome... When ordering just read the description the ones shown above in the black look great on a black or dark colored vehicle especially if you have the black tint I love mine

Painting is optional. If you are happy with the original look, then it should not be a big issue. I didn't paint mine either. Good Luck!

Just to let you know. The light pattern really sucks with the black bezel. I retrofitted a pair of HID projecters from the retrofit source.com huge diff.

The tint sheets don't work. I would paint them with black paint. Keep applying the paint until you get the darkness you want. Any kind of black spray paint will work. I do it to all of my cars.
